Things Beyonce And Jay-Z Should Buy Their Baby From The New Missoni Line At Target

Posted 9/13/11 11:58 am EST by in Beyonce, Jay-Z


Missoni for Target launched today to much fanfare and website crashing. It's the latest low-cost designer diffusion line for the retailer and people are into it.

Sure, we wish there was a bit more stuff for guys. (Editor Rant: There need to be more designer diffusion lines that feature men's clothing – we'd camp out for John Varvatos at H&M, just sayin.') But the clothes, household items and bed/bath stuff that the pricey Italian fashion house created for Target are pretty fantastic. The best, though, has to be the kids' stuff. And you know who is probably looking at kids' stuff right now? Beyonce and Jay-Z, that's who.

Of course, King Bey and Hova don't have to do diffusion; they can afford anything they want. But both superstars seem pretty grounded, and Beyonce has a longstanding relationship with the retailer. She offered up a deluxe edition of her latest album 4 exclusively at Target and surprised members of the Boys and Girls Club of New York by showing up at the chain's Harlem store during a dance lesson earlier this summer.

So what is Missoni offering up at Target that Bey and Jay might be interested in? Well, provided they have a baby girl, some pretty cute stuff. Read More...

How Much Like The Nymph Is Lady Gaga?

Posted 9/12/11 4:17 pm EST by in Lady Gaga


Over the course of her career, Lady Gaga has played many parts. And in her video for "You and I," she plays many more: a dude named Jo Calderone, a mermaid named Yuyi, a woodland nymph and, we're sure, somewhere in there she's even playing herself.

And it turns out that's true. You see, according to her Harper's Bazaar photographers/"You and I" fashion film directors Inez and Vinoodh, she is all those people and more. They're not actually characters, but different incarnations of Gaga's persona. So yes, under all the costumes and makeup, she is very much like the shoe-less, bare-faced nymph dancing in the Nebraskan cornfields featured in the clip.

"When you meet her she is so real and everything, any character that she does or any outfit that she puts on or any video she makes, it all comes from a real place inside," Inez revealed. "For her, this is one side of her." Read More...

Mad, Bad And Dangerous To Know: Who Dares To Portray Keith Richards In 'Life'?

Posted 9/12/11 3:03 pm EST by in Movies, Music


By Maura Gavaghan

Rock n' roll and Hollywood will soon collide as Keith Richard's autobiography "Life" is reportedly being turned into a feature film. Although Richards claims he isn't in a huge rush to get this project moving, fans and industry buffs can't help but speculate who will play the legendary guitarist of The Rolling Stones. While a few names have been dropped, there is no clear answer to who will take on the challenge of portraying the man once described by journalist Nick Kent as "mad, bad, and dangerous to know."

The role will require great versatility, as the actor will have to portray Richards through the many tumultuous stages of his life, including years spent struggling with drug abuse. While there is plenty of room for opinion and debate over who could capture the notoriety of Keith Richards on the big screen, we thought of a few people who might have what it takes. Read More...

Justin Bieber Wants To Marry By 25: Other Pop Stars Who Have Done The Same!

Posted 9/12/11 1:18 pm EST by in Justin Bieber


Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber recently shared with the world one of his personal goals: to be married with kids by 25. That means in the next 8 or so years, the Biebs wants to settle down. Selena Gomez, you hear that? No? Well, we found the quote for you!

The Biebs spoke to Women's Wear Daily about it saying, "Well, by 25 or 26, I want to see myself, like, married or start looking for a family. I want to be a young dad. I want to be able to have done what I wanted to do — to be successful, to do a movie or whatever. But if the time is right, I definitely want to be married by 25.”

Of course, a lot of pop stars (especially ones who were pretty young when they got their start) marry kind of young. By the time they're 25, they've already lived a lot of life, so settling down probably feels like the next right move. And if Bieber feels like he's going to be the only pop star on the block who married by his mid-twenties, well we've found some others who also settled down early. Read More...

You're Totally Into Lady Gaga's 'Bloody Mary'

Posted 9/12/11 11:20 am EST by in Lady Gaga, Newsroom Poll


Late last week, after much Twitter buzz, we asked if you Lady Gaga fans out there wanted her next single to be "Bloody Mary." The song started trending on Twitter last week when some tech-savvy Little Monsters pushed the hashtag #BloodyMary to convince Mother Monster that the song should be her next single – even though her latest Born this Way track, "You and I," only just cracked the top ten last week. There also seemed to be some consensus that the moody electro-pop song would work perfectly with a Halloween-themed video.

Well, you've spoken loud and clear. Check out the results of our Newsroom Poll after the jump and below, check out Born this Way producer Fernando Garibay talking about "Bloody Mary" and "Bad Kids."

Cyndi Lauper And Other National Anthem Disasters

Posted 9/12/11 10:06 am EST by in Music, Sports


Cyndi Lauper

Singers be warned: There is one song you are not allowed to mess up – "The Star-Spangled Banner."

Before this weekend's U.S. Open women's semi-final match between Serena Williams and Caroline Wozniacki in New York, Cyndi Lauper was tasked with singing the National Anthem and she didn't exactly do it justice. Wearing a short Statue of Liberty dress, Lauper started into the song following a moment of silence for the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and flubbed the lyrics. Instead of singing, "O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming," Lauper sang, "O’er the ramparts, we watched as our flag was still streaming."

And people are not pleased about it. Twitter lit up soon afterward with none-too-kind comments for the eccentric singer, but she's far from the first to come under fire for botching "The Star-Spangled Banner." Read More...

Five Rappers-Turned TV Stars For Tyler The Creator To Look To For Inspiration

Posted 9/9/11 3:48 pm EST by in Television


By Lauren Kearney

In the past, many rappers have taken a hiatus from their music careers and thought the next obvious step would be to conquer television. Whether it was finding love on a reality show, kicking ass and fighting bad guys in a crime drama or moving in with their auntie and uncle in Bel Air, this transition either went really well, really badly or so terribly it was hilariously good.

In light of Tyler the Creator’s just-announced new show "Loiter Talk," which is coming to Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim in 2012, we have decided to take a look back at some of the rappers-turned-TV stars that have graced our television screens. Read More...

Is Britney Spears Giving 'Criminal' A Face Lift For The Radio?

Posted 9/9/11 1:45 pm EST by in Britney Spears


Now that it's official that "Criminal" is Britney Spears' next Femme Fatale single, some of her most loyal fans have taken to the Internet to speculate that the song will get some sort of remix treatment for the radio.

As the track stands now on the album, it's a slow jam, the slowest on the album. The Max Martin-Shellback produced track is all about loving a bad boy, complete with a flute solo or two. While it's not really a ballad, it's the closest thing to a one on the dance floor friendly, dub step heavy album.

Britney fansite Breatheheavy.com has posted a clip of what is a reported radio version of the track, the closing song on the chart-topping album. The clip has since been taken off the Internet (maybe confirming that it is the real radio version?). It doesn't stray too far from the album cut, but the beat is a bit faster and the instrumentation is shuffled around a bit. The changes are small, but definitely make the song more radio-friendly.

Does Lady Gaga Have A New Dude In Her Life?

Posted 9/9/11 12:45 pm EST by in Lady Gaga


Lady Gaga

From Hollywood Crush:

Lady Gaga knows how to pick hot leading men. I mean, she did cast Alexander Skarsgård in her "Paparazzi" video. So when we spotted "Vampire Diaries" actor Taylor Kinney in her "Yoü and I" clip, we figured it was Mother Monster just living out our dreams of making out with hot guys.

But now comes word that she's living out our dreams in real life. Sources tell People that Gaga and Taylor have taken their on-screen love off-screen and are "hooking up" in real life.

The two met in July when Lady Gaga was shooting the video in Nebraska, and since then were spotted over Labor Day weekend in Mission Viejo, Calif., where they "were hanging out."

Read on for the steamy details. Read More...

Should 'Bloody Mary' Be Lady Gaga's Next Single? Vote In Our Poll

Posted 9/9/11 10:34 am EST by in Lady Gaga, Newsroom Poll


Lady Gaga's latest single "You and I" is only in its fifth week on the Billboard charts and reached its highest chart position yet this week (No. 6), but Little Monsters have already launched a campaign for what song should be next.

Earlier this week, fans of the "Born This Way" superstar got #BloodyMary trending on Twitter in an effort to convince the singer that the popular track from her latest album would be the perfect fifth single – and that dark, moody the song would be a perfect fit for a Halloween-style video.

While discussing Born This Way in-depth with MTV News, producer Fernando Garibay revealed "Bloody Mary" is a "very personal" song to Gaga. The demo was originally developed and recorded by Gaga and co-producer DJ White Shadow in Los Angeles and later finished by Gaga, Shadow and Garibay, though it "stayed pretty much intact as the original demo. It's a beautiful song."

"['Bloody Mary' is] another super cool record. This is another one that started on a White Shadow track," he recalled. "I remember [Gaga] played this to me in Australia and we sat down and ... opened up the track and she started singing [the melody and lyrics] to it."

Do you think "Bloody Mary" should be Gaga's next single? Vote in our poll after the jump. Read More...
